Endless House

Description

I did some more pencil doodling today. This is a landscape of the roofline of an endless house that extends to the horizon.

The picture was for the Reddit SketchDaily "Imaginary Landscape" prompt. The concept was inspired by Tad Williams' Otherland, which features a world-sized house.

I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough to give a real critique, so I hope this will be okay.


The shading seems a bit flat. Try some darker shades and brighter highlights for increased contrast. (This could just be the camera or a shadow from you leaning over it to take the picture.) If you don't want a lot of overall contrast, then just juxtaposing dark shadows next the the (relatively) bright highlights will give the illusion of deeper contrast without actual high contrast.


The perspective seems a bit wonky. It's pretty good for being made freehand, but needs a bit more attention. I'm not great at this art stuff, but I like to think I'm good at normal one, two, and three point perspective. Hit me up if you want some help.


That said, it seems you got the scale of the building and the general lighting done pretty well. So you're two for four. Not bad.
